Congestion on surrounding roads continued until the closures were lifted at about 1.40pm, after the man was airlifted by a Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance helicopter to St George's Hospital in Tooting.

It landed near the crash scene at 10.02am according to an air ambulance spokesman, on the gardens between St Mary's Road and St Mary & St Nicholas Church, and reportedly returned a second time "after hovering overheard for quite a while" according to an eyewitness.

Rachel Goddard, 31, walked down from where she works at about 1.15pm on her lunch break, while the incident was ongoing.

She said: "I walked past where the road was closed but didn't see much. There were three or four police cars and a number of officers.

"The road was still closed then, congestion was bad earlier on but no worse than usual. There were just a few cars around when I walked up and it didn't seem too bad."

Alongside the air ambulance, SECAmb sent an ambulance and rapid response car to the scene at 9.45am.

A Surrey Police spokesman said: "There have been no arrests made and the driver of the van wasn't injured. The motorbike rider suffered serious life-changing, but not life-threatening, injuries to his lower body and is in hospital."

An eyewitness to the emergency response, who works at a nearby funeral directors but declined to provide her name, said: "An air ambulance came and hovered for a while before landing by the gardens above St Mary's Road. It went off then came back and landed again.
